Southern Rock Survivor
Southern Rock Resilience: A Musical Journey of Dreams and Dues
Lyrics
To play a chicken wire stage in some Louisiana town
To perform on a stage enclosed with chicken wire in a Louisiana town
Paying my dues working for tips and stale beer
Paying dues by working for tips and receiving stale beer
All night joints with the truck stop queens
Spending time in all-night joints with truck stop queens
We were starving to death but we're living on dreams
Experiencing financial struggle but sustaining on dreams
After all I've done it's a wonder I'm still here
Expressing surprise at still being present despite past experiences
I'm a southern rock and survivor
Identifying as a survivor of Southern rock
I spent 30 hard years in those dingy old bars
Reflecting on 30 years spent in dimly lit bars
Loving every minute playing my old guitar
Enjoying every moment while playing the guitar
And I Finally made to the top one failure at a time
Acknowledging success by reaching the top through persistent failures
You see a song don't care about anyone's age
Stating that a song transcends age and connects through music
It's all about the music when I'm up there on stage
Emphasizing the focus on music while performing on stage
When the crowd starts singing I feel like I'm still in my prime
Feeling rejuvenated when the audience joins in singing
I'm a southern rock and survivor
Reiterating the identity as a Southern rock survivor
Out on the road a mile is still a mile
Asserting that distance traveled on the road remains the same
I've played it all and never once changed my style
Maintaining a consistent musical style throughout the journey
As long as I've got another gig to play
Committing to continue performing as long as there are gigs
I'll be southern rockin' out til my dying day
Expressing dedication to Southern rock until the end
I'm a southern rock survivor
Reaffirming the identity as a Southern rock survivor
I'm a southern rock survivor I've got music in my soul
Stating the enduring presence of music in the soul as a Southern rock survivor
